This Boomerang Was BANNED!

Now look, Boomerangs are Awesome and are Great Fun to Fly. However, when l was a young fella back in high school they were BANNED as every kid brought one to school which was chaotic at recess and lunch times....boomerangs were flying everywhere which eventually led to them being banned for safety reasons. Fancy that, something fun being banned!!
Anyway, not dwelling one the past, as part of the Dainer Made "Offcuts Only 23 Challenge" l decided to recreate my childhood and made one of these exciting little boomerangs.
I hope you enjoy it 👍😁

My father bought the Hasbro version of this boomerang for me and my brother back in the late 60's. They were made of hard plastic with sharp edges. Took me about ten minutes of unsupervised throwing to take one in the face that sliced into both my eyebrows so they flopped down into my eyes. Still have the scars 55 years later.

I had a commercial one that I got on a camp trip when I was a kid. We went to some sort of boomerang making place in country Victoria somewhere. They told us to hold it vertically and flick it with the wrist. Had many times where we were on the ground with our hands over our heads when we lost sight of it and you could hear it coming in. Ended up running over it with the mower one day. Apparently Boomerangs and Honda mowers are natural enemies in the wild. Great job and very nice paint scheme. Thanks for the video.

Boomerangs being banned reminds me a lot of Yo Yo's getting banned when I was a kid in the 90's. Kids kept getting better and better yoyo's made out of aluminium and titanium, eventually slinging them on the ultra thin strings and launching them across the playground. Few kids got hit in the head pretty hard and bam, banned. But that's what happen when you have a bunch of kids that do shoot the moon and around the world as many times and as fast as they could all recess long.

This image was accompanied by the brilliant bass tones of 'A land Down-Under' by "Men at Work'.... what a totally class tune!!! "With a hippy-trail, head full of zombies!" hahah) I even had a boomerang myself that Santa left me one snowy Christmas morn, with me looking outside at 4ft of snow, thinking, 'Er, I think Santa has given me Bruce's presents instead of mine by mistake! He's probably opening a thick wooly scarf with matching bobble-hat, thinking... 'WTF!' 🤔 lol. I'm liking "The cut of your jib", and so have hit that subscribe button and joint your merry crew!

When I was a kid back in the 1950s and 1960s we made conventionally shaped boomerangs using 5/8" plywood coated with epoxy paint which helped their longevity. They were heavy but flew great. We tried using the boomerangs to hunt pheasants in the local fields but never got any. The big surprise was when the boomerang came streaking toward the flying pheasants they would crash dive into the brush as though the boomerang was a hawk or eagle attacking them.

@diyforknuckleheads 11 ай бұрын

@BooBaddyBig 10 ай бұрын

I think the Aboriginal hunting rangs were basically just heavy sticks and didn't return. Non returning boomerangs work better for hunting because they don't curve. For hunting you want the boomerang to go as straight as possible towards the target, otherwise they'll see the movement across their retina and have a chance to react.

I am American and have a cheap plastic boomerang and for a "toy" sold in a tourist trap its a fully functional boomerang. I even made my shin bleed not getting out of the way fast enough. lol. I should make a nice plywood one. That paint job turned out great.

I remember having a boomerang like that as a kid. It was kind of flexible and made of a rubbery plastic. Worked really well.

They should never let a father take his newborn babes home until he can prove he knows what a boomerang that won't come back is. Dad Jokes rule! Also, my daughter loves boomerangs. When she comes home on leave from the Army I think I'll surprise her with a Dad-built version. Thanks for showing us how.

The non joke answer is a throwing stick. Similar shape to a boomerang but designed to fly on an extended straight flight path. Used for hunting.

my Aunty's merangues flew like boomerangs even if filled with fly repellant. they would take out light bulbs inside the house. They were a true de-light
